I don't dispute those points, but you missed mine--those factors were what made it interesting to the media. All of them, whether true, false or distorted, were easy talking points for the shows on MSNBC, CNN, FOX and others trying to fill airtime.
The woman being kept alive now to have the baby doesn't have the same elements for discussion (or any akin to it); it's a human interest story, not a conflict, and thus no reason for it to receive any more than an update now and then.
