This is such a funny discussion because everyone should be taking a step back.

This donation was motivated by Jim Ryan distasteful comments in which he trivialized the struggle for reproductive rights by going on and on about his cat birthdays in the message saying that Sony wanted to stay neutral.

Neutral is ok. You don't want to take side in the culture war, then ok do it. Just don't speak about your cats in the same breath.

Secondly, and I will maybe shock you, those who are educated and have purchasing power are mostly pro abortion. You can spin it as much as you want but largely the consumers are largely pro choice.

This is a poll which is heavily skewed to favor the pro choice position, as a lot of polls are reporting a lower share of US citizen who are pro-life. You can still see that:

Young people (future consumers)
Educated people (Future policy makers and future leaders)
People who earn a lot of money (Consumers + maybe shareholders)

These three groups are pro choice. Now you can debate all you want about why when how. The fact is that, people who are important for companies are actually (edit because I wrote pro-life instead of pro-choice:) pro-choice and if this part of their most important values, then they don't want to see companies trivializing the discourse.

This small time donation is an attempt to repair the PR catastrophe created by Jim Ryan. Nothing else.
