I'm anti abortion but this law scares me.

If the pregnant mother is careless in some way and causes a spontaneous abortion is she then to be considered a murderer?

No, the law specifically exempts any action of the mother.

Sec. 19.06. CERTAIN CONDUCT EXCEPTED. It is an exception to
the application of this chapter that the death was the death of an
unborn child and that the conduct charged is:
(1) conduct committed by the mother of the unborn
child;
(2) a lawful medical procedure performed by a
physician or other licensed health care provider with the requisite
consent, if the death of the unborn child was the intended result of
the procedure; or
(3) the dispensation of a drug in accordance with law
or administration of a drug prescribed in accordance with law.
