If Mary had free will, did God have back up Holy of Holies (sinless women) ready to go? If she could have refused, then that opens up the possibility that the Mother of Jesus was not known at the beginning of time. This means that either the nature of God would have had to change at the moment that the mother of Jesus was impregnated (an impossibility) or that the mother gave nothing of herself to Him during the pregnancy - God just came through her.
There are no other possibilities - well, except “It a mystery! To the rack with anyone who says otherwise!”

"If Mary had free will, did God have back up Holy of Holies (sinless women) ready to go?" God, ever omniscient, knew from the beginning what Mary's response. He knew, that although She could have said no, she would not. Foreknowledge is not predestination.
Peace be to you
