Yes,Pence voted against the CONYERS amendment but voted for overall passage because he wanted to pass his child porn amendment.
PENCE AMENDMENT ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY PREVENTION PASSES HOUSE
Pence speech
Washington, Sep 14 - Congressman Mike Pences amendment to the Childrens Safety Act of 2005, aimed at cracking down on child pornographers, specifically so-called home pornographers who create illegal child pornography using their home computers, was adopted today in the U.S. House of Representatives. Pence made the following remarks during debate on his amendment:
While this legislation today is very much about using the force of federal law to confront child predators, we know that the fuel that fires the wicked hearts of child predators is child pornography.
My amendment, which is drawn from the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 2005, is designed to give law enforcement the tools to stop child pornography at the source. It will fix a glaring loophole in the current law by requiring pornographers to keep records of the names and ages of their subjects and proof of identification. This requirement, we believe, will deter the use of underage children in pornography.
Additionally, pornographers will be required to allow law enforcement to inspect their records and failure to do so will be a criminal offense. We also in this legislation extend federal jurisdiction to so-called home pornographers that use downloading on the Internet and digital and Polaroid photography to essentially create an at-home cottage industry for child pornography.
Its time to protect our children, its time to enact the Pence amendment - the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 2005 - and make it a part of this truly landmark legislation, the Childrens Safety Act of 2005.

This is stupid. We should make a Constitutional Ammendment outlawing "riders". Along with activist judges, this is yet another way the Communist POS shove socialism down our throats. It's the equivalent of forcing US troops to fire onto civilians to get at the terrorists. Inexcusable terrorist tactic, no surprise from the Demon party of hatred, perversion, and death.
