Abortion juxtaposition

In the coffee shop this morning, I was struck by the below-the-fold "here's what's inside" box on the front page of the New York Times.  Right next to each other were the two abortion-related stories, which have already been mentioned, i.e., the report on the Pope's "remarks against abortion" and the one on Giuliani's (obviously poll-tested) decision to go ahead and "support abortion rights."  I was also struck by this observation, at the end of the Giuliani piece, from Rich Lowry of National Review:

Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, the conservative magazine, said, “You can’t win as a pro-choicer who is going to deliberately set on challenging the party’s orthodoxy on the issue.”

“It doesn’t have to take him down,” Mr. Lowry said of Mr. Giuliani and the abortion issue, “but if he continues to mishandle it, it’s going to be a real problem for him. One of the big ironies for him is he doesn’t care about abortion.”

I wonder what that means, i.e., "he doesn't care about abortion"?  Doesn't care?
