Also, when you select her for a Single Player game, you can clearly see this. Her in-game sprite is also unmistakably 'boobed', just wait for her idle animations, especially the one showing her stretching. I think it's conventional that she's more dressed than her male counterparts, because if she wasn't it would be considered...explicit? I don't know, but this Robot Chicken video perfectly nails that problem:
She's only clothed because Lori's designer decided to make her more anthropomorphized than Jazz and Spaz. He anthropomorphized her enough for her to have sexual characteristics, which didn't happen for Jazz and Spaz, so they don't have to wear pants, because there's nothing between their legs.

Of course, he could also have chosen to not give Lori breasts, and then there would have been no need to clothe her. Anthropomorphization does not require sexual characteristics.

The character design of the Jazz Jackrabbit series is kinda all over the place in this regard - Spaz wearing only shoes and wristbands, Jazz not wearing shoes but having a headband and backpack, extras in the background wearing suit jackets, et cetera. The constant is that female bunnies are consistently wearing clothes and do all have breasts. So in that sense Lori does fit in, though it's a pretty lazy design choice, and the main reason for her being a bori.

But there is no explicit need for her to wear clothes, or have breasts, or whatever - nothing dictated by the universe's internal logic. Nor is it a logical extrapolation from the fact that all characters are anthropomorphic.
