Are there figures for the numbers of abortions & microcephalic births?

If you look at this epidemic by the numbers in the infobox we have just listed the numbers of identified cases & a tiny number of deaths. The human cost of this epidemic should surely be measured in the excess number of abortions & the number of births with microcephaly. Granted the number of excess abortions can only ever be an estimate but as it stands I'm not sure the scale of the epidemic is reflected in the article.
