Okay, USA Today says

Currently, breaking abortion law in Georgia can be punished with imprisonment "for not less than one nor more than 10 years." The newly signed bill gives no indication as to who would be charged with penalties and what, if any, those penalties would be.

Some have speculated that since the bill recognizes unborn children as "natural persons," that women who choose abortion or miscarry or the medical professionals who help them, would face murder charges, but the term has been used routinely in the previous criminal code, which the measure does not repeal.

Alabama's bill would punish a doctor or abortion provider who performs a procedure with a Class A felony punishable by life or 10 to 99 years in prison. Attempting to perform an abortion would be a Class C felony, punishable by one to 10 years in prison. The woman seeking an abortion would not face charges under the bill.

This makes it sound like to me that the bill itself is unclear with regards to what happens to a woman who tries to perform her own abortion. Still looking for the actual text of the bill to read myself
