Sexy Tuesdays?

I signed up to be on Planned Parenthood's email list because I support the group's efforts to help young women in trouble - and to help prevent trouble. They treat and help prevent sexually transmitted diseases, offer affordable birth control, and help rebuild women's self-esteem after a sexual crisis. I deeply respect that work. But I'll admit I was a little puzzled by their new fundraising program: "Sexy Tuesdays," where you can meet up at a Portland area wine bar and 50% of proceeds for the night go to support Planned Parenthood. The reason I don't get it is that I for some reason thought Planned Parenthood was about making good choices and being a stronger woman, not the sort of free love vibe you get from an ongoing event named "Sexy Tuesdays." It just kind of strikes me wrong. Am I wrong? What is your reaction to this?
