ALBANY, May 17 -- The Right to Life political party is punishing one of its allies in the State Assembly because of a deal struck between the Right to Life Committee and legislators who favor allowing women to have abortions if they wish.

The situation underscores a rift between the two antiabortion groups, which have similar goals but different officers and different priorities. The state Right to Life Party, for example, is a recognized political organization that is given a line on the official state ballot, while the state Right to Life Committee -which shares some members with the party - has no such official role.

The party chairman, Ellen McCormack, has reportedly told Assemblyman Vincent F. Nicolosi, Democrat Conservative of Queens, that he will lose his Right to Life Party endorsement because of a deal that resulted in an antiabortion bill's being reported to the floor of the Assembly earlier this week.

That is particularly painful to Mr. Nicolosi because, he has told friends, he didn't know about the deal. The lobbyist for the Right to Life Committee, Joan Allgair, said "it doesn't make sense" for anyone to fault the Assemblyman for trying to have one of his bills sent to the floor for a vote.

The deal was this: In return for an agreement by proabortlon legislators that would allow a bill limiting the availability of abortions for minors to reach the full Assembly for a vote. the Right to Life Committee would not press for a vote on a Federal constitutional convention before next fall's election

Mrs. Allgair said the committee supported the move for a constitutional convention, "but it's not in our program, so we haven't pushed for it."

"Our committee decided^- -that's not their priority," she said, adding that its main interest was in opposing Medicaid financing of abortions, which is now tied up in court.

But the constitutional convention is the Right to Life Party's priority, and it is the party that decides who gets to nun on its line on the ballot in November.

"Their political experts assess the situation differently," Mrs. McCormack, the party chairman, said of the committee. "That's the best answer I can give you-I don't understand it."

The constitutional convention is intended to allow the Right-to-Life groups to get a constitutional amendment outlawing abortion entirely, and is the party's "top priority," Mrs. McCormack said. Anything that limits abortions in the meantime "is a plus," she said, but "it isn't an either/or proposition."

Mrs. McCormack said her threat extended beyond Mr. Nicolosi. "All the Democrats' Right-to-Life Party endorsements are in jeopardy," she said, She attributed that to what she described as the "pressure" that Stanley Fink, the Assembly Speaker, was exerting to keep her party's legislation for a constitutional convention from passing in his house.

The spring ennui of the Legislature can drive one to flights of fancy, or even poetry. Assembly Edward C. Sullivan, Democrat of Manhattan and chairman of the subcommittee on libraries, has been leavening a dull session by putting verse from the likes of Sandburg and Burns in his colleagues' mailboxes each week.

Not everyone was entirely amused. Assemblyman Clark C. Wemple, Republican of Schenectady, formed the subcommittee on poetry control, whose chief bard, a fellow named Anonymous, wrote:

Ed's a fine guy and a fellow real mellow

Who likes Burns, Frost and even Longfellow.

So poems in the mail from Ed do make sense,

But let's not do it at public expense. '

Mr. Sullivan replied - in rhyme, of course - that if legislators read_. more poetry, they would have less time to vote expensive projects that gobbled up taxpayers' money.

I'll bet that Blake's or Whitman's poems

Cost less than Syracusean domes,

And Kilmer's trees cost not as much -

As the mall and such.

Yeats it's not, but it could be verse.

Over in the Republican-led Senate, the mood is more one of frustration, at least for the Democrats. After blocking efforts to override Governor Carey's vetoes of more than $200 million in appropriations, the Democrats submitted bills to restore the money through another appropriations process that would not, at least initially, require the overriding of a veto. But the Republicans put a "slow freight" order on many of the bills, meaning that they were not printed.

So the Democrats took matters into their own hands. They went to their own printer and had the missing bills - which must sit on the legislators' desks for three days before they can be considered -- reproduced. Yesterday afternoon, the bills came back from the printer.
