This makes Erica upset and asks why can't that person just leave her alone.
In Everybody Wants Something, at Spike's locker, Liz and Spike see Erica and Heather and Liz calls Erica the "murderer." Spike asks Liz why not just give it a rest and to leave Erica alone. She also tells Liz that Erica's abortion is not Liz's business, but Liz says it is her business because when her mother was pregnant with her, her father wanted her to get an abortion, but her mother said no. Her father than beat her and put her into a coma. Spike says that she didn't know and hugs Liz. Later, Erica goes to her locker and finds Liz there taping a picture of an unborn fetus. It says "Stop killing the unborn." Erica realizes that it was Liz who spread the message around the school. She asks Liz why would she be so horrible, but Liz says that Erica is horrible because she was the one who killed her unborn baby.
