Try this:
sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 1
    pigment { gradient x
        color_map {
            [0.0 color Red]
            [0.5 color Red]
            [0.5 color White]
            [1.0 color White]
        }
        scale 2
        translate y*1
    }
}

The radius of the sphere is 1, so it is 2 units across. The gradient
needs to be translated and scaled to fit.
