 This prompted showrunner Glen Mazzara to respond to such criticism . In his interview with The Daily Beast , he stated : " The producers and writers of The Walking Dead are fully aware that the morning @-@ after pill would not induce an abortion or miscarriage , we exercised our artistic creative license to explore a storyline with one of our characters , not to make any pro @-@ life or pro @-@ choice political statement . We sincerely hope that people are not turning to the fictional world of The Walking Dead for accurate medical information . " The episode itself does not , in fact , claim the morning after pills will work , as Glenn questions Lori over that fact , to which she replies that she does not know .
