no more good days

In the first (GOP) presidential debate held on May 3, 2007, the candidates were asked "Would the day Roe V Wade is repealed be a good day for America?" Here's what the candidates said[1, 2].

Former New York City Mayor Giuliani - it would be "OK" to repeal Roe v. Wade

Senator McCain - "Yes"

Former Wisconsin Gov. Thompson - "Yes"

Former Virginia Gov. Gilmore - "Yes, it was wrongly decided"

Former Massachusetts Gov. Romney - "absolutely"

Former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee - "most certainly"

Sen. Brownback - "(It) will be a glorious day of human liberty and freedom."

Rep. Tancredo - "After 40 million dead because we have aborted them in this country, I say that that would be the greatest day in this country's history."

I can't help wondering if the kind of "good days" these men had in mind take into account acts like the one alleged here? Or like those alleged in this case? (warning: rough story in that first link)
