I think family planning centers take sex very seriously for exactly the reason you described: those not wanting to have a child and being very cautious not to, can even end up having one anyway. Now think of all the people who just have sex recreationally and don't consistently use birth control--it's scary. The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, created the organization partially because she felt the wrong people were having too many children (and no, this was not a conspiracy to encourage eugenics). So in conclusion, I don't think the message from these groups is overkill.
