Um, no, that was not taking away her free will. Things outside of our control happen to us all the time. Free will refers to our ability to react as we wish to those things.
Since God is all-knowing, he knew Mary wouldn't. If somehow she did, I guess he'd just have to try again with someone else.

I am looking at 2 distinct possibilities here. The Blessed Virgin Mary was either a promiscuous young virgin girl who got all excited and submitted without any hesitation to the indecent proposal of Saint Gabriel, or she was actually abused and raped by God the Holy Ghost! The Blessed Virgin Mary was still a minor hardly a teenager, but in those days it was not an issue. Saint Joseph was probably afraid to hurt her having sex with her so soon. They both lived together already. How else would Saint Joseph protect her virginity? Technically speaking, he did poorly at that! The shock came to him, six months later when he found out that she was pregnant. She told her husband that she was going to be the mother of God. Saint Joseph had a dream that night confirming what Holy Mary said. So there was no need for an abortion. It is pointless to speculate any other scenario. God the Holy Ghost is very resourcefull!

Q. How did god impregnate Mary? by using a miracle. simply by fact of this Mary is a virgin the two earlier and after. Q. became Mary a virgin whilst she grew to grow to be pregnant with Jesus? sure. Q. Do you suspect god has male genitalia and impregnated her 'bodily'? No. Q. Or became it divine theory in that god did no longer require any organic and organic tactics to impregnate her? sure. Q. additionally, became Jesus his 'surely son' or became Jesus Gods incarnate? Jesus became the two completely human and fully divine. he's God the Son, the 2d guy or woman of the Holy Trinity. With love in Christ.

No, God spoke to her through an angel about it and she agreed to doing His will.
Luke 1:35-38
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God."
38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.
(from New International Version)

No God did not take mary's freewill, and considering that God is omnisapient, he would not choose a woman who would have an abortion, instead he chose some one who would go through with it.

no, cause mary could have said no.
I couldn't even imagine the what if's that would follow, what if mary said no, what if jesus wasn't born, what if god "raped" mary, what if mary had an abortion... if any of those what ifs did come true, then our religion would fundamentally be different. and all of us Christians would be worship ping a much different god.

No, it says in the bible that mary accepted it.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed her.
Luke 1:38
And Joseph did want to leave her, he did think she had cheated on him, until he had the vision of the angel.

No. Remember the angel came to her before hand. Had Mary objected, it would have been obvious that she was not the right woman. But, in His wisdom, God didn't choose the wrong woman.

The reason Mary was chosen as Mother of Christ was that she had already surrendered her will to the WILL.
