It’s relevant to the decision of a company worried about associating itself with that opinion. The pro-life view fluctuates between being the majority and minority fairly regularly. A majority of Americans consider abortion immoral. A nonprofit that tries to provide alternatives to abortion would not be seen as a negative thing to a large portion of the population, so google has no reason to discriminate against them unless it wants to take a political view on the matter (which it would have the right to do).
