Hundreds of people gathered for Rose Day at the capitol Wednesday.
Pro-life advocates gave lawmakers roses to symbolize their beliefs.
Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's niece, Alveda King, was the keynote speaker.
"Martin Luther King Junior said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Don't be like the Romans who committed infanticide. When you value the human personality you won't kill anybody," said Alveda King.
