Question of Priorities

What's wrong with this picture?

On Election Day 2008, this was the front page of the Tribune's knockoff tabloid called the 'RedEye'. It sported the none-too-original headline 'It's in Your Hands' with five hands in front of an American flag, each hand showing one of the following issues:

• Iraq
• Economy
• Vote
• Health Care
• Abortion

My question is, what does it say about this tabloid, that 'Abortion' makes it into its Top Five? This would be before -- oh, I dunno -- 'Education' or the 'Environment', just to take two things off the top of my head.

What kind of values are these?
