I think this is vintage image, probably taken from a newspaper or magazine in the 1920s. I think was the woman is wearing is actually a bathing suit (note the river and the dock) which makes it an even more bizarre choice.)
You're right! That's a bathing suit. The 1920's concept of a beautiful girl was a slim, somewhat boyish woman, usually with cropped hair and wearing a short skirt, often fringed, hence "flapper." The flappers were seen as a bit silly because they were young, convinced they knew it all, and usually a lot more innocent than they were pretending to be: hence they were as much figures of fun to the truly sophisticated as much as they were sexually-threatening to the prudish.
This is an odd choice for a pro-choice campaign, mostly because abortion was illegal in the 1920's. Not just in America, but pretty much everywhere in the Civilized World.
