Indeed. The woman venerated Mary but got her accents wrong, on the merely physiological aspects of motherhood. But Mary is venerated for her obedience to God expressed in her "let it be onto me as God wills", and because of her motherhood being a type of the Christian Church where the Word is kept and protected.

Besides, no one is arguing that Mary wasn't blessed, after all she attained the desire of women. But to elevate her to co-redemptor and Queen of Heaven is a notion that perhaps well-meaning, but certainly misguided, humans have come up with.
