Abortionnn
When I was 27 and my girlfriend was 22, she became pregnant, and we opted for a surgical abortion. My blood group is B+ and her is B- consequently, she was given an injection at that time to prevent complications for the baby in a future pregnancy due to the blood group incompatibility. She is pregnant again now; is there any issue with taking that same injection again? It has been a year since the previous injection was administered—is there any problem with taking it again?

You will need anti D injection if going for termination.
If pregnancy is to continued then it will require coombs test before taking the injection.

Since you're Rh negative and pregnant again, the anti-D injection needs to be given again this time too. It isn't a one-time treatment. It's repeated with every pregnancy and after bleeding events to stop your body from forming antibodies against the baby's blood. The year's gap since your last dose doesn't change that.
Next Steps
Tell your obstetrician about the earlier abortion and the anti-D dose you received then. They'll recheck your antibody status and plan the injection again at the right point in this pregnancy.
Health Tips
Skipping it risks antibody formation that could affect this baby or a future pregnancy, so don't miss the scheduled dose. Please consult your obstetrician to confirm the right timing for you.
