What I am acutely aware of is the FACT that MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND female Americans will die in abortuaries THIS WEEK.

I don't dispute your words, just wondering where you learned that 10,000 women will die from an abortion in one week. Can you verify that, as I would like to offer it as proof to my liberal, left-wing Obama supporters.

But, certainly just as important are the thousands of unborn babies will most certainly die as a result of the abortions! Can you provide figures on that also?

I was speaking of the number of females who are aborted each week.

There are approximately 1.3 MILLION abortions in America each year:

This works out to just under 25,000 per week and statistically at least half of these are female (actually more due to sex selection: Congressional Bill Targeting Sex-Selection Abortions in US is Much Needed. So, my estimate of 10,000 is actually incorrect, the actual number is at least 12,000.
