Why would God allow His son be born to a woman that had the stain of original sin or actual sin? Reason says he wouldn’t.

Because Jesus was a man tempted in every way just as we are and yet was without sin.

*Reason* doesn't demand that Mary be sinless. *Reason* could just as well conclude that Mary needed to be a normal sinful human being who have other children so the Jesus being raised in a normal everyday big family, by imperfect parents, would be tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

How could he sympathize with our weaknesses if He never experienced them?

The whole theology of Mary being sinless is just wishful thinking on Catholic's part and has ZERO support from Scripture, where Scripture tells us that Mary called God her Savior, and it tells us that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Very True. Much of what God did defies our reason and God warned us not to put our reasoning above his word for that reason. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

... has ZERO support from Scripture...

Quite the OPPOSITE; in fact!

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

[Elsie]

What would you call a SINLESS person who gave a SIN offering?

A hypocrite?
