Or just pretend to comply
I disagree. Pretending to comply is just as good to them as compliance. They don't actually care about someone getting an abortion, but they do care about the message it sends to the masses. By saying no and leaving them with no option but to use physical force we are showing the cracks in that agenda/message. Those cracks will grow and encourage others to stand up and say no. Once that happens the entire foundation of it falls apart because people aren't afraid anymore. Sure a few of us will be beaten, killed, jailed, even publicly executed. But as OP said they can't stop us all.
The movie Schindler's List is about how Schindler pretended to comply
But if you make a martyr of yourself, they'll just remove you from that position. If you make a show of "rounding up illegals" or "reporting all the DEI initiatives", they'll leave you in place while actually accomplishing nothing:

True but we're not just talking about one martyr. It would be dozens if not hundreds. Much more difficult to keep a lid on it.
I guess it depends on the individual and what they want out of life? If the goal is to just survive then pretending to go along is probably for the best. I suppose when talking about revolution anything that slows down the machine is beneficial
I think keeping positions of power would be essential for resistance.
Absolutely! Unfortunately they're will be sacrifices and some of those sacrifices might be leaders in the resistance group. That will sometimes hurt the cause and other times it could benefit the cause.
