A public apology, however, was apparently too tempting a venue for the other two campus abortion activists, especially Michelle Lynn Cruey, to resist. While one paragraph contains a clear apology though not for having committed the act the rest of Cruey's letter is an undisguised reprimand to the pro-life group for having dared to make a statement against abortion. Typical.

I am regretful and sorry for any discomforting emotions my actions may have aroused."It's too bad other people are upset by my actions. Get over it."

Seems grounds to withdraw the amnesty to two students. I think they were directed to apologize, not use the letter to further their opinion or politics.

"appeared to be persecuting these women instead of offering refuge"Hey, how about trying the aspirin squeezed between your knees next time?

Forward the letters to the judge. Let him or her decide if they are truly apologies or not.

Reinstate the original charge. They had their opportunity. Let them go to trial and see how much fun and games it is.

"She goes on to lecture the pro-life group saying, I did not only feel remorse and sorrow for those unborn, but pain and sympathy for the mothers who for whatever reason felt as though they had no other choice but to use this practice."
Amazing that NONE of these "heart felt" sympathies of hers lent themselves to ....say, establishing anything constructive to create a world where such choices would be unnecessary.

Forced apologies are always ridiculous.
Even as a child when I was forced to apologized, I never meant it when I didn't think what I did was wrong.
What a forced apology is, for someone who thinks he was right, is merely a display of power. In other words, because you can hurt me, you can force me to lie to your face that I am really sorry to have done x or y. Of course, I am NOT sorry, at all, but by lying to you, we have performed our little dance, and you have asserted your superior power over me by forcing me to lie to you so that you'll get off my back. Now you'd better watch yours, because I will not forget or forgive. And once the wheel of power turns, I will get you back.

I suppose it is too much to hope that the judge, when allowing the charges to be dropped in lue of written apologies, said if the apologies are not true apologies the charges will be reinstated.

"I also felt anger that religion, my own forgiving faith, appeared to be persecuting these women instead of offering refuge. Surprisingly, I discovered I was not alone in my disapproval."
Why do these ghouls talk about faith? If they are comfortable with murder then they should say that.

Word. I've always thought forced apologies were retarded. You put it exactly correctly especially regarding the motivations behind lip service of this kind.

All to the good in these cases. I want these young women to learn that the power of the State, defined by the law, is much more powerful than their feelings. We are a nation of law, not a nation of feeling.

One of the students wrote this:
"personally felt that having crosses on a public campus that represented aborted fetuses was not appropriate. I thought that I was demonstrating my first amendment right to protest against these crosses. I was reassured by my professor, and other NKU faculty, that we were demonstrating this right by taking down the crosses."
"I again apologize to those who were offended or hurt by my actions."
Sincerely, Heather Nelson
She thought she was demonstrating her first amendment right by destroying someone else's work and property? How did this girl get into a university, LOL!
Second, her comment that she didn't think it was appropiate to have these crosses sickens me. Basically what she is saying is "Don't put this in our face, we don't want to think about it!"
Her apology doesn't look very genuine either. Had a group of Christians done something like this to a pro-abort group they would have been thrown in jail and the liberal media would have labeled them as "religious kooks!"
