Final answer:
The answer to the question is false; the Supreme Court in Harris v. McRae (1980) upheld restrictions on the use of federal funds for abo-rtions, not the requirement for the government to provide them.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to the Supreme Court ruling in Harris v. McRae (1980). The answer to the statement in question is false. The Supreme Court did not rule that the government must provide abortions to women who cannot afford them. Instead, the decision in Harris v. McRae upheld the Hyde Amendment, which restricted the use of federal funds for abor-tions except in cases where the woman's life was in danger, or in cases of ra-pe or in-cest.
In contrast, the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade established a woman's right to have an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy without excessive government restriction, thus solidifying the right to privacy under the constitution and a significant moment for the feminist movement.
