So what’s their planned enforcement mechanism for this? If states that have legalized abortion on the books simply say “we’re not directing our LEO to enforce this” like with legalized marijuana, what are they going to do? Send out the FBI agents they just fired for being the deep state?

The enforcement has always been going after doctors.

Exactly.

Despite the power everyone else perceives them as having, doctors live in constant fear of the regulatory apparatuses they work within. Especially the socially-minded ones who you'd think would be the kind of people to engage in any sort of civil disobedience. They have many legal powers granted to them above those of regular people, but unlike other groups who have that (eg cops), they are subject to discipline from various directions. Licensing boards, insurers, practice associations, academic institutions, employers, funding of various sources, social peer pressure etc. Every lib doctor knows at least one story of some MD who got their license taken away for too much SJWing. And their identities are so wrapped up in being being doctors, they can't imagine any other life. Plus there is all the investment/debt of themselves and their families/communities in their education and practice. They know whatever future good they can do to help people, all that can be taken away from them instantly. So any given risk they think of taking to make a stand in this moment, what hangs in the balance is all the future lives they could save and good they might do in the future.

Even in legal states, there are still federal raids on weed shops. The same will happen to doctors.

Our own brown/blackshirts will be formed, theyll call it the BTA (Beauro of True Americans). Sorry ill get off the lathe.

I could imagine them setting up a kind of "national civil enforcement" like what they've got in Texas, but on a Federal level. Allowing individual citizens to bring lawsuits in Federal court against doctors (or other individuals) for "facilitating abortion" would have enough of a chilling effect that they wouldn't necessarily need to count on state or local law enforcement.
