I have sometimes wondered what might have happened, had Mary having said “No”. In fact, I’ve even wondered whether others had been asked before her and had said “No.” Would these women also have been free from original sin since conception?

Only one caveat to this beautiful article: the idea of a virgin birth was not at all ‘unheard of’ in Mary’s time. In fact, the prophet Isaiah had spoken of it (7:14) some 800 years previously. People were talking about it and looking for it, then, just as some are nowadays looking for the Second Coming.
