I don't think it's the media's fault. Unless you work or attend at an abortion clinic, you are not at risk of violence from anti-abortionists. When you hear about an attack, you are likely to care less.
When you hear about people being attacked in London, you consider yourself at risk, as these are attacks that target the general public.
So, it has nothing to do with the media, but instead the reaction from the audience, which is the general public. When an attack targets the general public, the general public cares more. For example, when Elliot Rodger attacked random people, that was all over the news for weeks.
