I doubt that abortion was that common in that era and therefore doubt this statement (and a lot of the other ideas in this as well). I receive Jesus through the Holy Spirit and I don't see Mary as part of my or anyones salvation.
Abortion has been around almost as long as people have been around. In ancient times, there was always someone, usually a midwife, who used roots, herbs and plants to make teas for the pregnant woman to drink to cause an abortion. It was used in the Roman empire, and if all else failed, the couple resorted to infanticide, which was allowed under Roman law.
So Mary always had a choice, but because she was faithful to God, she chose to accept His invitation, though she knew it would be difficult for her and for Joseph, and their families.
Love your bio page...Mary is definitely part of prayers and beliefs by us Catholics. Mary is someone that is avaialbe to when you need to say the rosery and she is pretty close to Jesus and God!
