Whatever happened to civil disobedience? Abortion bans are a case in point. Pro-choice activists and physicians feel strongly that women should have the right to an abortion yet very few are willing to risk prison sentences or fines in order to challenge the system by breaking the law.

The civil disobedience would be more appropriately directed at/around DNC offices.
Harriet Tubman might be a better model. Not getting caught means you can continue to deliver freedom.
The problem is that, from a purely economic model, it won’t succeed. Tubman was successful in no small part because she not only deprived the slave-owner of economic wealth but also had a cheap, easily scaled method that pretty much anyone with steady nerves and a hiding place could do.
The people needed to provide abortions are, by definition, highly trained, and therefore limited and valuable. It would be the work of a single democrat-backed bill (“We need to compromise our way to a bipartisan victory — send money”) to make providing an abortion (or being solicited to aid in one and not report the request) a felony conspiracy. Look at it from the doctors’ perspective. Many of them are deep in the hole for student loans that Joe Biden won’t cancel. They know the democrats are smoothy guts and cowards. They know it all the way down. And only an idiot would fall for the marketing.
The people? After 40-odd years of vertical silo reorganization that has performed the calculus of carving us up into a series of infinitely thin slices (versus a simple economical Marxist model that would unite the total underclass), there’s no way to get the dyslexic lesbians who think Oswald was set up to see they need to join with their lifelong enemies: conjoined twins who are not just vegans but also Capricorns.
