You could try slowing it down, allowing a bit more time for the layers to cool. Or, you could print multiple copies, allowing more cooling time for each piece.
I can't tell if you're getting good layer adhesion. Is your layer height about half to 2/3rds the nozzle diameter? You may have to tweak that a bit, too.

Any thoughts on whether these are too fast? Also, is 120C too hot for the bed. I had read on one of these threads that the hotter the better for ABS but it was the bottom layer that was moving in a twisting motion a little as each layer was being printed.
I am using a .4mm nozzle and my first layer height is .2mm and the rest of the layers at .25mm. Sound right?

The speed seems reasonable and your layer height seems fine, but try going a little lower and see if that works. You'll get better "squishing" for the layer adhesion.
