Speaking at the Faith and Family Presidential Forum in South Carolina last week, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush discussed several faith-based issues, including what his faith means to him, his dedication to serving the country and helping those in need.

One part of the forum, held at Bob Jones University in Greenville Feb. 12, featured a screening of clips from the controversial Planned Parenthood video, which appears to show negotiation over the price of fetal parts but has since been debunked as deceptively edited.

Calling the video “disgusting,” Bush responded with an emotional discussion of his record of defunding Planned Parenthood during his time as governor of Florida, vowing to do the same in Washington.

The video, available at YouTube, can be viewed below:
