The pro-choice and pro-life advocates might have had reasons for not publicizing this case, although I can't quite see why the pro-life advocates would not be shouting about it.

But beyond that, this is a sensational story with lots of blood and horror and it seems atypical for this not to be big news. I checked CNN, NY Times, and Fox News and they all have stories going back to Jan 2011, so it clearly was reported. A murder of 7+ people would normally be huge, but as mentioned in the article, the infants who were killed did not have names or any life history, so it makes it less compelling.
