Van Lift is associated with Johns Hopkins University, which has actively promoted non-therapeutic circumcision for many years. [[Ronald H. Gray]], [[Maria Wawer]], and [[Aaron Tobian]] are also associated with Johns Hopkins University. PubMed reveals that Van Lift has published numerous papers regarding the promotion of voluntary male non-therapeutic circumcision to adolescent boys. One article in which she and Aaron Tobin are named authors concluded:

Van Lift would have a hard time backing away from such a firm position. She seems to be hopelessly committed to promotion of non-therapeutic male circumcision.
