Or cannot make the class completely abstract. i would need to instantiate the class and assign members... as you can see this is more work than necessary. Perhaps there's a System getter i'm not aware of that exposes the Trigger object inside of the abstract class? This would be the answer I'm looking for I guess. But I'd rather pass it as an argument. I'm doing this because I want to take advantage of class methods to organize my code for this complex step I am working on. Plus, i want to reuse the code.
Thanks for the reply. I created similar approaches already but it would just be nicer to pass the trigger object, or have access to it from a global level. maybe this is suited best in the idea exchange. Thanks again.

It's not possible in any way I know of. Here you can find some pretty darn sweet suggestion on writing OOP triggers.

You mean the map or list of records to be processed by a trigger?
new
A map of IDs to the new versions of the sObject records.
Note that this map is only available in before update, after insert, and after
update triggers.
newMap
Returns a list of the old versions of the sObject records.
Note that this sObject list is only available in update and delete triggers.
old
A map of IDs to the old versions of the sObject records.
Note that this map is only available in update and delete triggers.
oldMap
A map of IDs to the old versions of the sObject records.
Note that this map is only available in update and delete triggers.
No, I want to pass the entire Trigger at once. I know that I can pass Trigger.new. This is a better example of that i want.
SomeAbstractClass.doSomething(Trigger);
instead I have to do something like so...
SomeAbstractClass.doSomething(Trigger.new, Trigger.oldMap);

I completely agree. I even suggested in the comments on that page:)
Cheers.
