Your missing the point, God (through the Angel) tells Mary she will be the mother of the Messiah, he will do this he will do that. The decision was already made, God is just offering the courtesy of letting Mary know.
Gen 22, "God said, "Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land...you shall offer him up as a sacrifice"
Doesn't sound like a question to me. Both Abraham and Mary were free to do their own will.
Just as with A and E, God said, "you shall not eat". This seems as definitive a statement as God's word to either Abraham or Mary, yet we see that indeed there was human choice in the equation.
